The portable units are sold with a method to hold them at an angle, and a method for folding and transporting them.
One could likely build a more powerful system for less$$ buying 2 panels and putting a large piano hinge between them, running the 10 awg MC4 cables to a 45 amp anderson powerpole connector to the charge controller located close to the batteries over thick cabling.
With 2 group 27 batteries I'd recommend at least 200 watts worth of panels, and if solar were to be the only recharging source, to double that amount, and when the batteries fail, get some 6v GC batteries instead as they are easier to fully charge and more resistant to deep discharges.
